Carter plan faces liberal and GOP backlash in Congress
President Carter’s tax rebate and jobs package triggers cross‑party critique. Rep. Conyers and liberal Democrats seek about 30 billion for jobs while most of the 31.2 billion package funds tax cuts.

GOP leaders, led by Howard Baker, craft a distinct alternative in coming week, challenging the lasting impact of the rebate and seeking incentives for business investment.
